#YasumasaMorimura • We are pleased to announce “Yasumasa Morimura: Self-Portraits,” the artist’s ninth solo show with the gallery, and his first presentation in our Tribeca location. The exhibition will be open on September 5 and remain on view through October 21, 2023.⁠ •⁠ For nearly four decades Morimura’s conceptual multi-media practice, which includes photography, film, and performance, has been realized through the meticulous and innovative use of costumes, makeup, and staging. Masterfully transforming himself into famous figures who are often pulled from the Western cultural canon, the exhibition is centered around Morimura’s “One Hundred M’s self-portraits”, a series of 100 photographs in which he depicts renowned personalities. Through his avant-garde depiction of performers and characters, he subverts the concept of the “male gaze,” and within each image he both challenges the authority of identity and overturns the traditional scope of self-portraiture. Complementing this seminal piece are photographs from the artist’s actress series, a body of work which delves into the complex and captivating history of Western femininity, identity, and fame.⁠ •⁠ Visit the link in our bio to learn more about the exhibition.⁠ •⁠ @YasumasaMorimura #SelfPortraits #LuhringAugustine #LuhringAugustineTribeca⁠ •⁠ 1, 2, 3.
